This movie is one of my favorite. Any person that enjoys the movies about bank robbery and hacking type of movies will truly love this film. I have always enjoyed gambling and like many individuals have tried to beat the casinos by trying many different systems. This movie tells …
Swiss Army Man (2016 Fantasy Comedy Film)
Few movies try to bring something new these days. Most of the time people flock to the movie theaters to see tired and unnecessary rehashes of old films or either comic book movies that have been made to death. Everyone wants a blockbuster with big names attached to them.
Movies like …
A Knight’s Tale (2001)
I have always enjoyed great fantasy movies, and one of my favorites is “A Knight’s Tale,” which stars the late, great Heath Ledger as Sir William Thatcher, better known as Sir Ulrich von Lichtenstein of Gelderland. Ledger, who was an incredibly talented actor, was absolutely amazing in this movie. …
Drag Me to Hell
For a catchy title, I don’t really find this movie that scary at all. My boyfriend loves it though. Drag Me to Hell has its fair share of horror but I don’t think I enjoy the movie very much. The curse plot looks good in the beginning …
Maid In Manhattan
I don’t know whether to label this story, Maid In Manhattan as being realistic or not because it is very much rare that a rich man would fall in love with someone of a lower status than him, though it’s not impossible. And a maid at that. But …
American Dreamz
I believe that the movie “American Dreamz” represent the most bizarre role for both actors, Hugh Grant and Mandy Moore. We see both there two actors in an unlovable role which is definitely something new because we are so used in seeing them in romantic movies. It is also …
The Resident Patient
I am reviewing The Resident Patient, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, which was produced by Granada television in 1983. This episode finds Holmes hired by a very young physician, recently hired by a man to look after his personal health. …
Napoleon Dynamite (2008)
There is a good reason why this movie has turned into success- no doubt about it, it is one funny movie. A word of caution must be brought though- it is the classical example to the kind of movies that you are not supposed to watch by yourself. The …
The Wedding Date movie
I decided to watch this movie because the trailer seemed to be an interesting story and because the actor, Dermot Mulroney had the main part. I must say that although it is a good movie, it isn’t as great as I imagined.
So what went wrong with this movie? I …
Movie The good night
I must admit that I was confused about the introduction of the film “The Good Night”. To be honest, I thought I had put the wrong DVD in my DVD player and had to check it out. I confirm that “The Good Night” directed by Jack Parlow, brother of …
For Richer or Poorer
The movie for Richer or Poorer is so magnificently funny I almost wet myself over laughing. It is about a rich couple who’s marriage is falling apart and they are trying to get a divorce. While this is happening their personal accountant is stealing money from …

Abandoned and deceived
I watched this a couple years ago on lifetime movie network. I remember the movie really well though because it was so good. It is by far one of my favorite movies they play, if not my favorite. It’s about a woman that can’t get child support from her …
Top Gun
For me “Top Gun” represents one of the very first movies that I watched at the cinema. For the main actor in this movie Tom Cruise, it represented his ticket to win over directors and a lot of women’s hearts! In other words, the beginning of a success story!
Although …
Sansho the Bailiff movie
Kenji Mizoguchi is, together with Kurosawa, Kobayashi and a few others, one of the most talked about japanese filmmakers from the last century. Here he tells the life story of Bailiff Sansho, who lives a very tough and poor life in Japan several hundred years ago. With a poetic …
Rat Race Movie
What can be said about Rat Race other than very hilarious. It had to be with actors/actresses like John Cleese, Rowan Atkinson, Whoopi Goldberg, Jon Lovitz, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Seth Green. What is with the men in the board-room, they seem to bet on any and everything…I guess …
Movie “The Lazarus Project” (2008)
This movie was meant to be a psychological thriller but it was not. Sure there was a twist in it, but I did not feel much thrill or suspense in watching it at all. To be really honest it was boring and slow.
The main character, Ben, commits …

Let The Right One In - (starring Lina Leandersson)
Let The Right One In is a superb watch. For horror fans out there, be sure to catch this one. I’m not kidding. The story is about a little boy named Oscar and it seems like he has a harmless imaginary friend pretty much real to him …
Terminator Salvation
I recently rented Terminator Salvation in the hopes of a pretty engaging action movie with cool special effects and a little bit of good acting thrown in for good measure. I’ve enjoyed previous Terminator flicks and I figured this one couldn’t be too bad given the cast and …

Hoodwinked movie
When I first saw the previews for Hoodwinked on television I thought it would be a lousy film. But, after giving it a try, I now feel it is a movie I would be glad to add to my collection.

Pumpkin Scissors Episode 2
Pumpkin Scissors Episode 2 has Section 3 dealing with a tyrannical Viscount who is oppressing his people and using them as prey in a sick and twisted hunting game. Section 3 arrives and confronts him about this after receiving a complaint.
This was a good episode and establishes what …
The Boy in Striped Pajamas
While The Boy in Striped Pajamas is obviously a well-intentioned film, it is considerably unrealistic with a strange and awkward ending. The story is about an eight-year-old child named Bruno (Asa Butterfield) who is the son of a Nazi soldier (David Thewlis) and his unsuspecting wife (Vera Farmiga). …

National Treasure
When I first saw the movie “National Treasure” advertising to be released I thought it was based on the book “The Da Vinci Code” by author Dan Brown. This was because I had just finished reading the book, and had heard either on the television or from one of …
Movie Labyrinth (1986)
In my opinion, Jim Henson’s Labyrinth is one of the best animated films of all time. David Bowie’s character of Jareth, the goblin king, is probably my most beloved of all movie characters. At the beginning of the movie, I found him frightening, but as it moved along, I …
Valerie and her week of wonders movie
A strange film from Czechoslovakia by director Jaromil Jires. It involves young beautiful women, dark phantoms, evil forces and a whole lot of other things in a weird mixture. The film doesn’t have a constant narrative, it rather tries to invent a new way of telling a story with …

Zor (movie), 1998
The movie Zor released in 1998. I went to watch this movie being attracted by the songs of the film. But what a stupid movie it is. Alas my money is wasted and I get a headache in return. The plot of the film is so irrelevant, stupid and …

The Heatbreak Kid (movie)
We saw a movie at the Arundel Mills Mall theaters last autumn. If you are ever in the Baltimore Area, Arundel Mills Movico is one of the best theaters to view movies within this area.
Anyway, we went on a Wednesday night, like going during the middle …
Pirates 3
After waiting for one long year, the third (and last?) part of the Pirates of the Carribean trilogy finally arrived. My daughter and I both attended an opening night show. We thought it was great! The effects, as was the case in the first two movies, …
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Official Movie Trailer
I found the trailer to the upcoming movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, on youtube. For those who don’t know, this movie is based on the book and because the book was so long (over seven hundred pages), the movie will be in two installments. This …
Movie: The hand that Rocks the Cradle
Synopsis: A family hires a seemingly perfect nanny only to discover she is secretly seeking revenge against them.
What I liked about this movie: A lot of movies only hint at a person’s past and might give you a clue or two to figure it out for yourself. I personally …
House of Wax movie
Not the one to come out earlier this year, but the original 1950s movie with Vincent Price. I believe it was the first film shot in 3D tecnique, but of course that loses its effect if you don’t watch it with 3D-glasses at the theatre, which I didn’t do.
The …
Amadeus Movie
I had missed the movie Amadeus when it first came out, so I’ve discovered it only recently, having rented a tape from our local library. It was surprisingly good. F. Murray Abraham is unforgettable as Salieri, the court composer struggling with jealousy and questioning God’s decision to give an …

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009) movie

Movie: Star Trek First Contact
I had the baby early this morning and ended up trying to find a good movie to watch. I ended up watching a film I hadn’t seen in a while; Star Trek First Contact.
I’m actually not a huge fan of the Star Trek Next Generation films like this one. …
Batman: Dark Knight Rises
One of the movies that I watched recently was “Batman: Dark Knight Rises” and to be honest, I didn’t expect it to come anywhere near the previous one in the series in terms of greatness, where I was blown away by Heath Ledger’s performance as the joker. Nevertheless, I …
